Qld not considering state flood levy: Fraser

Queensland Treasurer Andrew Fraser says new state taxes would not help the flood recovery.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard has warned a new levy may be introduced to cover rebuilding costs.

Mr Fraser says it is appropriate to consider that nationally but more taxation is not on the state's agenda.

"The Federal Government is talking about a levy at a national level," he said.

"I think in Queensland's circumstances that pursuing a new tax at this point won't help the recovery, it will hinder it, so I think the decisions for the Queensland Government are about reprioritising."
